On the way to Pusan, Tang Jinyan drove the Land Rover while Grandpa Su and Grandpa Su sat in the back seat. It was as if they were a family on a trip.
Tang Jinyan felt that the atmosphere was not bad. It was many times better than the atmosphere he had imagined when the big boss inspected the place with a large entourage.
Grandpa Su and Grandpa Su seemed to feel the same way. Otherwise, they would not have left the team to play alone.
They chatted as they drove. Tang Jinyan briefly explained his background. However, he concealed the fact that his parents were killed and that he ended up on the path of darkness. He only said that his parents passed away in an accident.
"As expected, you're Chinese."
Old man Su Shan rubbed his chin. "I was just thinking about it. Your Chinese is so fluent, and you even have a Shandong accent. It doesn't seem like you started learning it in Korea.
So, your parents came to Korea to open a small restaurant business. Maybe there are other people in your family. Does that mean you might have relatives in China? "
Tang Jinyan shook his head. "In theory, maybe. In any case, I don't have any recollection of it."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm not interested in looking for relatives. If we're fated to meet, we can still acknowledge them. If we're not fated to meet, then we'll just treat it as if we're not."
Old man Su Shan sighed. "That's right. After living like this for your whole life, you already have your own life.
It's just that it's not easy for an orphan like you to get to where you are today in a foreign country … To be able to contact us for cooperation, at the very least, you must have some official connections. "
Tang Jinyan laughed. "Old sir, are you doubting the strength of my company?"
"You're quite straightforward."
Su Shan laughed. "It's not that I doubt the strength of your company. In fact, according to our initial communication with the Jeju Island government, the Korean company is only responsible for some intermediate work. It doesn't require much strength."
Tang Jinyan said lightly, "This is an official cooperation. Isn't old sir also commissioned by the government?"
Su Shan asked with interest, "How do you know I'm not an ordinary investor?"
"Because you once drove a tank here."
Tang Jinyan laughed and said, "Maybe you're just joking. But for ordinary investors, they want to make money, so they won't easily say such offensive words."
"Haha … Very sharp judgment."
Su Shan laughed heartily. "I feel that after I said those words, your behavior became closer. You were always cold before. I wonder if this old man saw it wrong?"
Tang Jinyan said calmly, "That's right. I thought it was some shameless bastard who came to plagiarize Korea's culture.
After hearing what you said, I know that I worried too much. "
Su San sat in the backseat and looked at Tang Jinyan's side profile. The more he looked at it, the more intrigued he became. It was hard for him to imagine how a Chinese man with such an attitude could make a name for himself in Korea. He also wondered if this young man had said that on purpose to make him happy, but no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like it.
At the very least, when he was receiving them at the airport, he was obviously distant and aloof. It didn't seem like he was acting.
He thought about it for a moment, then said, "The theme park project this time is planned to have a formal historical and cultural theme. The park will have a cultural corridor, a long river of history, a history of the two countries' thousand-year history of diplomatic relations, a naturalistic exhibition, a sculpture display, and so on. It will be launched as a scenic spot so that tourists from all over the world can see the history and friendship between the two countries.
Of course, the Koreans don't want us to be too formal. As for what can be highlighted and what needs to be hidden, it's still under debate. You know that there are also some controversial projects that are not very happy about.
But there won't be any problems with the general direction. At the very least, some cultural knowledge can be done. Jokes like the great territory of the Tanjung era covered Siberia and the north of the Yangtze River are jokes that even the Korean Ministry of Culture thinks are a little overboard. That's right, what's the name of Korea's Ministry of Culture? "
Tang Jinyan listened quietly until he heard the last question. Then, he smiled and said, "Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Tourism."
"That's right, that's the name." Su Shan patted his head, "The Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Tourism are a little …"
Tang Jinyan smiled, "The nature of this ministry is different from that of other countries. It incorporates many departments from other countries.
It has a lot of authority, and its reach is relatively long. "
Su Shan smiled, "Does your company have dealings with them?"
"No … I don't even know anyone in this ministry.
In fact, my company has nothing to do with this project. There are some special reasons why I'm involved. "
Tang Jinyan thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "But I'll have to deal with them sooner or later. This is an opportunity, and I'd like to thank you for providing me with such a good platform."
The old man was curious, "Why?"
Tang Jinyan smiled, "This ministry … is useful to my girlfriend. Very useful.
Who knows, I might even set up an entertainment-related company in the future. I've already sent people to get in touch with this industry from various angles. It's only a matter of time before I choose a direction for myself. "
Su Shan laughed loudly.
The little girl who was dozing off in the car suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, is your girlfriend a celebrity?"
Tang Jinyan asked, "Little girl, do you like Kim Tae-yeon?
If there's a chance, I'll get you an autograph. "
"Okay, okay, I like Girls' Generation and T-ara!"
Tang Jinyan couldn't help but laugh, "I think you're also a fake fan."
"Why?"
"Because if you really like T-ara, there's probably very few who don't know me."
The little girl was stunned. She carefully crawled forward and stared at the side of his face for a long time. Suddenly, she let out an earth-shattering cry, "King's man!"
"Screech!" Tang Jinyan reflexively stepped on the brakes. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What!
What do I have to do with gay movies? "
"It's not a movie!
It's Queen Park Soyeon's man! "The little girl pointed at him, her face full of excitement," It's really you! "
So that's what she meant … Tang Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped on the gas again, "One day, you'll know … That girl loves to act cute. She's really not a queen."
The little girl was not sleepy like before. She was chattering excitedly all the way. Su Shan and Tang Jinyan didn't want to talk about business anymore. They just chatted casually about their daily lives.
It was boring to talk about business all the time. It was easier to get closer to each other by talking about their daily lives, especially with the childishness of a child.
The two men were also very satisfied with this atmosphere. The two-hour journey to Pusan was no longer boring and lonely.
However, Tang Jinyan still thought about the title "King's man" from time to time. But when he thought of this title, it had nothing to do with Queen Park Soyeon. What came to his mind was … Lee Yoon-rim's face, which was both angry and happy at the same time.
This is really killing me …
